00:00 The Minister of Economy, Bruno Le Maire, revised the forecast for the growth of the GDP in France for 2024, from 1.4% to 1%.
00:12 He also announced 10 billion euros savings on state spending to meet budgetary objectives.
00:19 French economic growth will be less vigorous than expected in 2024, with a forecast of 1% brought back, announced on Sunday, February 18, the Minister of Economy, Bruno Le Maire, who unveiled 10 billion euros savings to meet deficit reduction goals.
00:36 This forecast of growth takes into account the new geopolitical context, explained by the Minister of Economy on TF1, evoking the war in Ukraine, the Middle East, the very marked economic slowdown in China and a recession in Germany in 2023.
00:52 "Faced with lower-than-expected fiscal revenues and to meet budgetary objectives of a 4.4% GDP deficit in 2024, against 4.9% anticipated for 2023, the State will make an immediate effort of 10 billion euros savings," explained Bruno Le Maire.
01:12 "It is not social security that we will touch, it is not local communities that we will touch," the Minister said.
01:20 "Economies should not require new laws, but we also keep the possibility of a 'rectifying budget' in the summer depending on economic circumstances and depending on the geopolitical situation, in particular the evolution of the war in Ukraine," Bruno Le Maire also noted.
01:36 "Half of the economies, or 5 billion euros, will have to be found on the operating budget of all ministries," Bruno Le Maire explained, for example on energy spending or purchases.
01:49 "The government will also reduce the public aid to development by nearly a billion euros and lower the aid envelope to energy renewal by another billion euros," he added.
01:59 "We had announced an additional envelope of 1.6 billion from 2023 to 2024, and there will still be an increase of 600 million, but we are recovering a billion," the Minister noted.
02:11 The budget dedicated to the reduced ecological transition
02:15 A third series of economies, of a total of 1 billion euros, will be carried out on state operators, according to Bruno Le Maire.
02:23 He mentioned in particular the National Agency for the Cohesion of Territories, Business France, France Compétence or the National Space Study Center.
02:33 The Minister chose injustice, reacted to N'Bringo, director of the Climate Action Network Program, denouncing "economies on the backs of the most vulnerable, on public aid to development and support for thermal renewal."
02:46 "Climate and purchasing power will be the losers," she said.
02:51 The increase in the budget dedicated to the ecological transition was brought from 10 billion to 8.6 billion, said Minister Christophe Béchut in a statement, claiming "an unprecedented increase in its budget."
03:03 The increase in the green fund, originally planned at 500 million euros, will be limited to 100 million euros, said his office.
03:11 The idea of a tax increase is pushed back.
03:14 After 0.9% growth in 2023, the government had previously planned an increase of 1.4% of GDP this year.
03:23 It now aligns itself with the estimates of other institutions, the Bank of France is stable on a growth of 0.9%, the International Monetary Fund is expected to 1% and the OECD 0.6%.
03:36 However, it is on this perspective of a more vigorous economy that the budget for the coming year is based.
